It leaves one with the impression that NZ is run by a bunch of mentally challenged hooligans. They be right there!
Luxon was trying to do a Muldoon….but failed miserably….like a drowning man grasping at a straw he is an over inflated balloon leaking hot air……….we have moved on from the 1970's……
Yup, all that comes out of his mouth are brain farts that leave a bad taste.

New climate doco by Paddy Gower, to be released on Monday.
"we can adapt"
Um, no, we can't. We have to mitigate and adapt.
And we have to mitigate more than carbon emissions. I freely admit to this being my personal crusade over the last 3 decades but we all tend to forget or sideline the issue of mass particulate and chemical pollution, especially the presence of "forever chemicals" which damage DNA and/or disrupt the endocrine system.
These chemicals do not just affect us, they are a major cause of loss of insect and bird life forming a series of interconnecting vicious circles. We have to change the entire way we organise production and consumption … which means we have to stop tinkering with facets of the superstructure and focus on changing the economic base.
completely agree. Also topsoil loss, deforestation, ocean life… It's pretty much everything now.
